DAVID DAVIDOVICH CHERSON BURLIUK Russian / American 1882-1967
(After Manet)
Image Size: 6” x 7”
|
This small panel is a very interesting painting by Russian/American early 20th century avant-garde painter David Burliuk. Burliuk is best known for his fauvist primitive peasant paintings and florals in a coastal landscape. However, he was also an astute student of the earlier French Impressionist painters - as in this case.
This panel reinvents a section from Edouard Manet's Luncheon on the Grass, with a female figure in a nightdress bathing in a stream -
that particular portion relating back to Rembrandt’s portrait of his common-law wife Hendrickje Bathing in a River, 1654, pictured also in a nightdress.
Each was considered shocking and “roughly painted” in its time. Rembrandt's painting was even considered a sketch, although no finished painting has been found. Burliuk has reinvented this theme in a 20th century manner, on a small rough panel.
